Word Origin: Derived from the root נוּחַ (nuach), meaning "to rest" or "to settle down."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G3575: Νῶε (Noe) • The Greek transliteration of Noah, used in the New Testament to refer to the same biblical figure, particularly in discussions of faith and obedience (e.g., Hebrews 11:7, BSB).

Usage: The name Noah is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to the son of Lamech and the father of Shem, Ham, and Japheth. He is a central figure in the Genesis flood narrative.

Context: Noah is a prominent figure in the Hebrew Bible, specifically in the Book of Genesis. He is introduced as a righteous man in a corrupt world, described as "a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked faithfully with God" (Genesis 6:9, BSB). God chose Noah to build an ark to preserve his family and pairs of every living creature from the impending flood meant to cleanse the earth of its widespread wickedness. Noah's obedience and faith are highlighted as he follows God's instructions precisely, constructing the ark and gathering the animals as commanded (Genesis 6:22, BSB).

The flood narrative culminates with the waters receding, and Noah's family and the animals disembarking to repopulate the earth. God establishes a covenant with Noah, symbolized by the rainbow, promising never to destroy the earth with a flood again (Genesis 9:11-17, BSB). Noah's story concludes with his life post-flood, including the incident of his vineyard and the subsequent curse on Canaan, the son of Ham (Genesis 9:20-27, BSB).

Noah's legacy is significant in biblical theology, representing themes of judgment, salvation, and covenant. He is also mentioned in the genealogies of Jesus Christ, underscoring his importance in the biblical narrative (Luke 3:36, BSB).
